Hi.
Sorry if this question is a duplicate :)
Who controls pushing out updates?
I would like to expose my Raspberry Pi to the internet but ie. missing
some openssl updates etc.
If some patching work is needed i would be happy to help.
Hi,
I am new to Raspberry-Pi on which I installed Pidora but when I heard
about Redsleeve I installed it instead as I am an old Scientific
Linux user and I want to stay as long as possible on the same
release.
But I was a bit disappointed as I saw no update (except glibc I did
by hand because the package was not signed) compared to my SL6
machines.
Reading all mails on this list I discovered that there was an other
update repository (thanks to Jacco Ligthart) :
http://cdn.opensxce.org/redsleeve/el6/updates-testing/
and I did a yum update and I got 199 +7 new packages.
Reboot, so far so good :)
Now I have a few questions :
1) why those packages are not signed ?
Jacco's updates-testing repository at opensxce hasn't been merged
into the main repository yet.
The reason why the most recent updates in the main updates repository
aren't signed is because a while back I lost the private signing key
to USB stick failure and haven't gotten around yet to re-issuing a new
release rpm package with the new key and re-signing all the packages.
2) why this repository is not mentioned in the wiki ?
It is the testing repository, and while I trust Jacco not to have
slipped any malicious code into it, it has seen less stability
testing than the contents of the primary repositories.
If you look at the archives from the past few days you'll see that
there is work going on to both merge the repositories and get a
new build system up and running to facilitate faster and easier
provision of updates.
3) How to update the kernel ?
I see kernel rpm in
http://cdn.opensxce.org/redsleeve/el6/raspberrypi/RPMS/
Can I just download :
raspberrypi-kernel-firmware-3.18.9+-1.20150314gitf1b6b1c.armv5tel.rpm
raspberrypi-kernel-3.18.9+-1.20150314gitf1b6b1c.armv5tel.rpm
raspberrypi-config-0.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
and do a yum localinstall raspberrypi-* ?
I think so, but you may want to wait for Jacco to confirm that
before you do it. I don't have a Pi and thus haven't tested any
of those kernels.
On a side note, if you look at:
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/
you will see that all of the packages from cdn.opensxce.org
are synced up on the primary download site (and should thus
also be available on the mirrors).
